Armando SIMON, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
From the 290th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2010CR2132
Honorable Melisa Skinner, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Appellant's court appointed attorney filed an Anders brief, asserting there are no reversible issues for appeal. In response, this court issued an order to appellant, advising him that he has the right to request the record from the district clerk and file a brief on his own behalf. Appellant has now filed a motion in which he requests that we require his appointed counsel to: (1) provide him with a copy of the Anders brief, which counsel asserted he had already done, (2) provide an unidentified document appellant believes might be relevant, and (3) meet with appellant as soon as possible. In response to appellant's request, we are attaching a copy of the Anders brief previously filed by appointed counsel, and advise appellant again that if there are documents from the record he desires to review, he should request the record as stated in the court's previous order. With regard to meeting with counsel, we advise appellant that such a meeting is not required under the law. Accordingly, we DENY appellant's motion.
